Redox-active antibiotics control gene expression and community behavior in divergent bacteria.
It is thought that bacteria excrete redox-active pigments as antibiotics to inhibit competitors. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the endogenous antibiotic pyocyanin activates SoxR, a transcription factor conserved in Proteo- and Actinobacteria. In Escherichia coli, SoxR regulates the superoxide stress response. Bioinformatic analysis coupled with gene expression studies in P. aeruginosa and Streptom...
متن کاملSimultaneous Control of Active and Reactive Powers of Vanadium Redox Flow Battery Systems in Flexible Microgrids
This paper discusses the control of flexible microgrids, consisting of a Redox Flow Batteries (RFB) and a new power conditioning system (PCS) for the RFB. Considering the importance of energy storage, this study is essential in power systems that are developed cautiously. RFB is connected to power system by a DC/DC or DC/AC converter to produce a DC voltage. It is very important that this conve...
متن کاملPhotosynthetic redox control of nuclear gene expression.
Chloroplasts contain 3000-4000 different proteins but only a small subset of them is encoded in the plastid genome while the majority is encoded in the nucleus. Expression of these genes therefore requires a high degree of co-ordination between nucleus and chloroplast. This is achieved by a bilateral information exchange between both compartments including nucleus-to-plastid (anterograde) and p...
متن کاملRedox-Active Metal-Organic Nanostructure Polymers and Their Remarkable Electrochemical Behavior
A number of redox-active coordination polymers (CPs) or metal- organic frameworks (MOFs) have been successfully synthesized using transition metals and bridging ligands. This article aims to deal with gathering the aforementioned disperse issues regarding the electroactive CPs. It also goes towards illustrating the effects of various factors on the electrochemical behavior of CPs including...
متن کاملScreening for antibiotics active against intracellular bacteria.
A large number of useful antibiotics have been discovered since the isolation of tyrothricin in 1939, yet as time passes and as the number of known antibiotics increases, their rediscovery becomes more and more fre(uent. Improvements in screening techniques are therefore indicated to eliminate undesired antibiotics with a minimum of labor. New techniques should also attempt to recognize biologi...
